Which hacker exploits system flaws for personal gain? (Choose the most appropriate option from below)

  • A.White hat hacker
  • B.Grey hat hacker
  • C.Black hat hacker
  • D.Ethical hacker

Answer: C

The hacker who exploits flaws for personal gain is a black hat hacker.

Black hat hackers break into systems without permission and use what they find for profit, theft or damage.

A white hat hacker, also called an ethical hacker, tests systems with the owner's permission and reports the weaknesses so they can be fixed. A grey hat hacker sits in between: they may probe a system without permission, but usually disclose what they find rather than exploit it for gain. That leaves black hat as the only option describing exploitation for personal benefit.
